Int J Cancer 121:2674-81. 2007..0004] was associated with the presence of HPV-33 integration. High episomal loads in HSIL and the presence of integration in women without SIL are likely to weaken the usefulness of HPV load of integrated forms in clinical practice... - Nonsynonymous polymorphisms in genes in the one-carbon metabolism pathway and associations with colorectal cancerAnita Koushik

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 14:2160-7. 2005..Associations for total fruits and vegetables were similar for different histologic types. These results suggest that fruit and vegetable consumption in adulthood has no important association with the risk of ovarian cancer... - Influence of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E2 polymorphism on quantification of HPV-16 episomal and integrated DNA in cervicovaginal lavages from women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasiaNaoufel Azizi
